Book of interviews reveals the extraordinary life and adventures and thoughts of one of the world's most exceptional antinomian thinkers.
Peter Carroll intraprese un percorso unico verso la scrittura magica, studiando inizialmente chimica all'università prima di dedicarsi allo studio della magia, che divenne il focus delle sue prime opere. I suoi estesi viaggi in tutto il mondo, comprese esplorazioni nell'Himalaya e la costruzione di barche in India e Australia, hanno plasmato profondamente la sua visione del mondo e la sua filosofia magica. Carroll cercò deliberatamente l'indipendenza finanziaria attraverso le proprie iniziative imprenditoriali, assicurandosi di poter scrivere e insegnare puramente per convinzione personale e curiosità intellettuale, piuttosto che soccombere alle pressioni commerciali.

In Magick Works you will find cutting edge essays from the path of Pleasure, Freedom and Power.

"The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley." --Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other works Peter Carroll's classic work has been profoundly influential on the Western magical world since it was first published in 1987. In Liber Null & Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek magical papyri, the works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th century scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory. The result is a profoundly original work. The book includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll's definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity.
